Paper scraps - now we're talking!

I have, as I'm sure most do, piles and piles of paper scraps. I canNOT throw the bits awa. I have a REAM's worth of scraps after trimming a book signature to size and a bag of triangles left over from mitering covered book covers? What's a girl to do? Found some ideas on how to use those scraps to keep on making, instead of throwing them away [gasp]:

And one from me - To help myself keep at least a little organized, I bought this recycling bin from Ikea to put right in front of me under my work space. I sweep the pieces in when I'm finished with a project and paw through when I need a bit of scrap.

 

Now go make!
